I'll tell you what I find hilarious... Elon is on his best behavior around autocrats, because they can instantly do things for him if they like him. And he loathes democracies, because they can't. So he replaces US democracy with an autocrat of his own, but the one he installed doesn't like him.

btw half of my cis friends are in their 50s and 60s. transphobia is not a generational difference. it's a british establishment and commentary class bigotry. it has nothing to do with age.

The irony that my online security course for work, 'AI-Driven Phishing Attacks', was delivered by AI-generated deepfake tutors was not lost on me, ladz...

This is a lot of cis women. So many times more than the largest GC protest you've ever seen. Why are these women not worth listening to?

I was recently asked on Instagram for a studio tour, so here you go. Ah, the glamour of it all. It’s 50% boxes of cables, 40% mess, 10% music making gear.

🚨 A statement: Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

I'll never be able to see any kind of reference to the movie Unfaithful (starring Richard Gere and what's her name) without thinking of @kylerseibel.bsky.social's story, 'Unfaithful Starring Richard Gere & What's Her Name', the opening to his remarkable short story collection, #HeyYouAssholes 🔥🔥🔥

I've met people who think telling fellow authors you're a fan is weird or cringe or fanboy-ish or whatever. I give zero fucks. I love books. I'm a fan of great writers. I've reached out to half a dozen just this week to say I loved something they wrote.
